HIMSS12 – First Full Day (21 February)

Today is the first full day of the HIMSS12 conference in Las Vegas, USA (www.himssconference.org). After the preliminaries, pre-conference symposia, exhibition set-up and other activities, HIMSS12 officially started this morning with a keynote presentation from Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter.

Dr Chris Paton (@DrChrisPaton on Twitter) has written a blog post about the opening keynote on the Health Informatics Forum and about the IBM Watson session. Chris will be writing other blog posts and tweeting from HIMSS12. In addition, Karl Oyri from Norway (@karloy) will also be tweeting.

The HIMSS12 exhibition opens this afternoon, and all friends and colleagues are invited to stop by the IMIA booth.
